David's Summer
Excitement
"One nice evening, I went on a boat
ride to Willow Slough with Fred Alstrom, Terence Fitka, Gerilyn, and
Shannon Fitka.
Fred and I were sitting outside
Hunter's Sales one Saturday evening when Gerilyn went rushing by with
her rod and tackle box. When asked where she was going and with whom,
she replied, Willow with Terence.
After awhile Terence came by and
asked us if we would like to come along. We were bored and thought it
would be nice to get away from town so we said we would go along. He
told us to wait on the beach and he would pick us up
there.
So I went up to my house and got a
few things, then ran down to the beach to wait. After about 10 to 15
minutes of waiting Terence came by. I hurriedly jumped into the boat
and we went to pick up Fred.
After we were all settled, we took
off up to Willow. I was sort of excited about going, hoping we would
see some sort of animal. Mostly I was hoping to catch enough pike to
feed our dogs.
On our way up we didn't see anything,
not even birds. Then I thought to myself that we probably wouldn't
see anything in Willow because it was too hot for the animals to be
out. Maybe we'd see something on our way back down when it cooled
off.
After going into Willow for about two
or three bends, me and Terence saw a moose. It was on the bank in a
little slough off to the left. We told Fred and Gerilyn but they
didn't believe us. So we turned around and went into that slough to
show them the moose. When they saw the moose they were so amazed and
excited. Us boys were pretending to shoot at it, thinking of the
kill, the meat and the excitement that follows. When we got to a
place where we could all see the moose, Shannon and Gerilyn were both
scared and excited at the same time. After it spotted us, it ran
along the bank then jumped into the water. It swam across the creek,
got out on the other side and ran into the trees. We thought we would
see it around the next bend, so we went in a little further, but we
didn't see it.
We left the little slough and looked
for a good fishing spot. We went into another slough I had never been
in and found a lot of fish there. But when the fish would bite and we
just about had them in, they would free themselves from the hook and
swim speedily away. Gerilyn and Fred were able to pull in one fish
each but that's about it.
We left that place in search of
another hot spot, but we didn't find one. Then we decided it was time
to go home. On the way home, Gerilyn and Shannon were loudly singing,
You Are My Sunshine, Twinkle, Twinkle and some other
songs.
I had fun that evening, seeing the
moose, blasting gnats in the water, catching a few fish (which came
off the hook) and running after ducks on land. We all had fun. I
guess we were at the right place at the right time."
